This review summarizes the selection and characterization of a set of coals commonly used in research programs in the United States. These coals have been selected from available U.S. coal databases. Organizations that provide coal samples and/or coal characterization data include the following: (1) Pennsylvania State University, which has characterized many of the Nation's coal resources, as documented in the Penn State Coal Data Base operated by the Energy and Fuels Research Center, (2) the coal sample suite used in the Direct Utilization-Advanced Research and Technology Development program managed by the Pittsburgh Energy Technology Center, and (3) Argonne National Laboratory's Premium Coal Sample Program. The selection of eleven coals from these national banks provides a standard suite of coals for the Advanced Combustion Engineering Research Center of Brigham Young University and the University of Utah. These standard coals were selected according to the following criteria: (1) representative of a variety of characteristics, ranks and properties, (2) available analyses of chemical and physical properties with wide property variations among coal types and ranks, (3) availability from major producing seams, (4) future production expected, (5) wide geographical distribution within the U.S., (6) used in previous combustion research work, (7) common to existing prominent coal banks, and (8) availability of small, controlled samples. Information about the general aspects of coal characterization is summarized. Experimental data on the physical and chemical properties of these coals are documented, and the selected coals are related to the coal data banks. Major combustion research studies where these coals have been or are being used are referenced. General use of these well-characterized coals will help coordinate and integrate a national research effort in coal combustion and conversion.
